The Advantages and Disadvantages of Digest and Slim Jim Catalogs

By Susan McIntyre

Co-mailing for full-size typically saves .005 cents to 1 cent per piece postage. So, if you’re mailing at an average postage of 32 cents per piece, you’ll drop that postage to maybe 31 cents. But switch to a digest with the same square inches and you’ll pay only 20 cents each in postage.

Side effect 2: You have to add the cost of tabbing.
